Hey every one! Thank you for all the reviews. I really appreciate them! Anyways onto the next chapter!
It's been 5 days since we came to the Beach House. We plan to just have some time with our boyfriend/girlfriend for the last 2 days, since all of us have been together since we came. It has been great, all together, like a big family.
I was going to meet Adrian after lunch so we could talk and do things togther. I dressed in black skinny jeans, a white tank top that said in gold glittery wrting, "I'm Sexy & You Know It", with my black leather jacket and just black flats.I couldn't be bothered with high heels. I went down to have some lunch, when I heard moaning coming from Adrian's room. I was confused, why would Adrian have moaning coming from his room.
We decided instead of a couple to a room, to have every person to a room. I walked down the rest of the steps and knocked on the door. Nothing. Just the moaning got louder. I tried the door handle, it was open. I walked in and saw Adrian on top of a girl, with blond hair. How could he do that to me? Why would he? I was beyond furious, he said he loved me and now, here he was, on top of a girl. They didn't notice me, so I walked up to them, grabbed Adrian by the arm and dumped him on the floor, then grabbed the girl by the hair and yanked her up. Adrian then noticed it was me and started to stutter,"Rose it's not like you think it is. I promise. I was just...", he kept going on but I wasn't listening to him. I was so angry at him, he was going to pay for what he did. He was going to suffer.
"Oh, so your not having sex with this whore? Adrian, you got lucky that I gave you a shot, and you ruined it. It is so over!"I growled, with my teeth clenched. I looked back at the girl in my hands that was trying to get away from me, then was that I noticed it was the maid, she was mine and Lissa's favourite maids' daughter. I threw her to the ground and pounced on top of her, and started punching her, I heard a satisfying crunch, when my fist made contact with her jaw. I stood up and looked at Adrian, I stalked towards him, he backed up towards the wall, but before he could go anywhere near the wall, I leapted towards him and started punching him, over and over.
The rest if the gang heard the noises and came up to see what was happening. Lissa and Mia both gasped at the sight in front of them: a girl, with only her a sheet wrapped around her body, holding her jaw and groaning in pain, and me on Adrian, continuously punching him in the face.
Eddie was tring to get me off Adrian, but I wasn't going to go anywhere just yet. Christian was trying to pull Adrian away, but I had my legs wrapped around his waist, tightly. I think I broke Adrian's jaw and nose. Finally, with the help of Lissa and Mia, they pulled me away from him. Christian pulled him away, but I tried to get out of their arms. They held onto me tightly. Lissa looked into my eyes',"Rose, calm down, everything is going to be fine." I had a weird feeling creep over me. Once she knew for sure I was calm, she looked away from my eyes. I was confused. Just then, I was angry and punching Adrian and now I am calm. Then I realized she used compulsion on me. Just before I had a go at her, she said,"I had, too. You were too upset."
I let her go for that one."Rose what happened?" Mia asked, Eddie still had my arms securely behind my back.
"I was walking past here, when I heard moans, so I came to check it out and that is what I saw." I growled at Mia. She looked over at the girl I had pointed out too. Lissa gasped, she had shock written all over her face.
"Karalynn, how could you? I have known you since you were 3. I never thought you would do such a thing." She gasped out, with horror in her eyes'.
She came over and hugged me. I'm so sorry, Rose, I never though he or she would do such a thing, she thought through the bond. I just gave her a small, sad smile and looked away."Can you let me go now, Eddie? I just want to be by myself." I was trying to hold back the tears, that I knew were coming. Eddie let me go, and hugged me. I started to sob into his shoulder. After Lissa, Mia and Christian gave me a hug, and me giving Adrian a final death glare, Eddie guided me up to my room. I knew Mia told Eddie to stay with me, until they got up here, but I didn't want company.
"Just go, Eddie." I whispered. He looked at my tear streaked face, and shook his head. Ever since Mason died, he thought it was his job to protect me, but it wasn't. I just jumped onto my bed and curled up into a ball and cried. Eddie came and wrapped his arms around me at one point, then I felt them being replaced by another set. I looked up, and saw it was Mia.
"I don't understand, Mia. He said he loved me, and then he cheats on me, with that whore," I said in a broken voice,"I thought it was going great. He was perfect. I was actually falling for him, then a couple days ago, I realized I loved him, I was going to tell him today, but then he goes and does something like this." She just looked at me with sympathetic eyes, then grabbed her phone and called some-one.
"Get up here, NOW!" She growled into the phone. Then two minutes later, the door opens, I look up from Mia's shoulder, and Lissa and Christian came in, then Adrian came through with Eddie behind him. I saw red around Adrian, the animal in me took over, and I lunged towards him. Eddie pulled him back and stepped in front. I couldn't stop my body and I hit Eddie right in the chest, he stumbled, but got his balance back quickly. We then started the battle. We both received kicks and punches, then out of now where, he lunged towards me and tackled me to the ground.
"Calm down, Rose. This ain't you. The darkness is getting to you. Think about Mason. I don't think he would want you trying to kill one of our friends, even though he didn't like him. Come on, Rose. Calm down." He said, but his voice broke. I then realized what I was about to do. I looked around and saw Lissa and Mia, both scared and nearly crying, and Christian holding a crying Adrian by the arms as he was struggling to get to me, with pain in his eyes. I wiggled out of Eddie's grip and ran to Lissa and Mia, and started crying."Get him out, please!" I sobbed in their arms.
"He isn't going anywhere, Rose. Not until you guys figure everything out." I stared at Lissa, with my mouth hanging open. How could she expect so much of me, when my mind was confused? After everything that has happened.
"I already have everything figured out, he was cheating on me and then when I was ready, he was going to use me and leave me when he gets tired and with a child. See that is what was going to happen. I should have listened to my mother when she said he would use me and leave me." I growled. I was shaking uncontrollably by now. "That is what would have happened. You guys don't get it. I am a Dhampir. A lowly, girl Dhampir. Every Royal Moroi man always has done this. Said to a Dhampir girl that they love them, then left them, with a child." I was on the floor by now, with tears streaming down my face, and Lissa and Mia's arms around me, once again.
Adrian spoke for the first time, with a broken voice,"Rose, I don't know what happened, and before you say anything, hear me out," He begged me, I did, just to hear his side, because I wanted to see how well he could lie to me, "I opened the door and that girl was there and then everything after that is just fuzzy. I don't know how, but everything goes blurry after that, then I just remember that you came and started the hitting and stuff." I laughed at the end. But it held no humour, at all.
"Wow, I never heard a more pathetic lie, guys." I looked over at Lissa, "Can you ask if we can stay 2 extra days, instead of going back on Sunday, Liss?" She just nodded.
Christian put his arms around Lissa and whispered something in her ear. With that they left the room after saying goodbye and telling me to come down for dinner.
"Eddie, can we train?" I asked, I really needed to blow of some heat.
"Yeah, sure. I will meet you down there, okay?" He left and it was only Mia, Adrian and myself.
"Mia, could you please leave, I want to speak to Rose." Adrian spoke softly to Mia. I saw Mia nod from the corner of my eye. I heard the door close, signaling that she had left.
"Rose, please look at me, let me explain. Well, I can't really explain but, it wasn't a lie. I just found that girl at the door and then after that everything goes fuzzy. I do lo-," I cut him off, I couldn't take it. He couldn't say that he loved me, because I know that it would make me melt.
"JUST GO, ADRIAN! I HATE YOU! YOU JUST CHEATED ON ME, AND NOW YOU WANT TO SAY "I LOVE YOU!" I screamed at the top of my voice. I had tears all over my cheeks, they were dripping down my chin.
"I know you love me, Rose! I have seen how red your aura goes when you look at me, or I say I love you! I have seen it for the last 3 days." He spoke in a hard icy voice.
I knew he was right, but I tried to deny it,"No, I don't love you. I hate you, and plus, how could I fall in love, when it has only been, what, 3 weeks." I knew I was in love with him, and he knew I was in love with him, but after what he did...I don't think I would be able to forgive him, even though I love him. "Adrian, I don't think love will be enough for me to be able to forgive you. You said you loved me and there wouldn't ever be someone else that would measure up to me. But I guess she did." I said softly, tears tumbling down, again.
"I am telling you, Rose. I don't know what happened. She was at the door and then everything is fuzzy from then, until these past 2 hours, that have been the worst 2 hours of my life." He said with a voice filled with pain. I looked at the Emerald Green Eyes' I have fallen in love with, and knew that I had to let go. I walked up to him, and reached up to his face and traced his lips, jaw, nose and eyes, ran my hand through his soft, silky hair and tried to memorize it, because I knew it would be the last time.
I reached up onto the tips of my toes and softly kissed his lips for the last time. He just held my face in his hand, then I pulled back, my face drenched from tears, his as well. I think he understood it would be our last time. He reached forward and traced my lips, jaw, nose and eyes, then he ran his hand through my hair. He leaned forward and kissed my cheek, then, walked out.
I cried for what seemed like hours, I blew off training with Eddie. I think they realized what had happened. They didn't come up, for which I was grateful of.
Some where in between all my crying, I fell asleep.
I woke up early. I looked over and saw it was 9:00 A.M. I got up, took a shower and got dressed like a zombie and went down stairs for breakfast.
When I made it down there, I saw every one was there, including Adrian. They all looked up except for Adrian, and smiled with sympathy in their eyes. I just continued to make my breakfast, which was cereal. I grabbed my bowl and looked for a seat, then saw that the only one available was the one next to Adrian. Lissa saw, Rose, sit here, I'll sit there. I just shook my head and walked over there and sat down. I didn't even eat my breakfast, just played with it, from the corner of my eye, I could see Adrian just playing with his food, as well.
Then, that Karalynn girl came over and started to speak to Adrian,"Are you busy tonight, Adrian?" she asked in a high soprano voice, running her hand up and down Adrian's arm. I could strangle that girl...to death. He ripped his arm away from her and growled. She looked shocked at first, but then said in a sickly sweet voice,"Oh, your still upset about that slut. I can help, if you want." That did it. I lunged from my seat, and took her to the ground with me. Her head slammed as it made contact with the tiled floor. I punched and kicked her, until I felt someones' arms around my waist, they felt familiar but I couldn't remember whose they are because the darkness was getting to me. They kissed just under my ear and whispered,"Rose, calm down. Please! Don't hurt her. I will take of her later. Please calm down." Once I heard this voice, I calmed down straight away.
"I'll take her up to the room." The person said to everyone else. They lead me up to my room and placed me down on the bed, then crouched down in front of me. I then focused on who it was, but I couldn't because of all the tears that were in my eyes', clouding my vision. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. Then I saw who it was...Adrian.
"YOU CAN'T JUST KISS AND TOUCH ME WHEN YOU WANT! GET OUT! GO BACK TO YOUR WHORE DOWN THERE!" I shrieked at him. He looked at me, and I saw his eyes were clouded by agony, regret and tears. He got up, from in front of me and left, with out a word.
I didn't come out all day. They all left me alone. A couple times during the day, I heard the door next to me slam closed and I heard a few "What the fuck do you want?'s". I knew that it was from Adrian's bedroom, because his was the only one next to mine.
I didn't go to dinner or lunch. I just cried. Cried until numbness, once again, took over my body and mind. I was pleased that I didn't have to feel the pain anymore, and with that, sleep took me over.
I knew I would have to make an appearance today, since they would get worried. So I got dressed in a pear of black sweat pants and a black tank top, then went to breakfast. Once I made it down there, I noticed everyone was there. I ignored all conversations around me and stared at the walls. I didn't touch the food that was made. Once everyone started talking about going to the beach, Adrian got up and left.
"Rooooose," Both, Lissa and Mia whined,"Come on, it will be fun if you come. If your not there it won't be fun, it will be boring." Oh god, I didn't want to go at all, and I wasn't going to go. Finally, they left the kitchen and left me, to go to the beach. I sat there for a while, then decided to go to the bedroom.
I was halfway up the hall when Adrian came out of his room, I just moved to the side and continued my way to my bedroom. I felt his gaze on my back until I made it into my bedroom.
After hours of laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling, there was a knock at the door. I got up and answered it, thinking it was Lissa, but i was far from right...it was Adrian. I started to close the door when he stuck his foot out, before the door could close. I sighed. I turned around but before I could get far he grabbed my wrist, spun me around and pulled me into his arms.
Before I could react, he captured my lips in his. I wanted to pull back, but I couldn't. My mind wanted one thing, but my body and heart wanted the other. His grip on my waist tightened, then finally he pulled back from the passionate kiss and let me breath. He kissed me once, twice and a third, but halfway through the third the door opened to reveal a very shocked Lissa and Mia.
Thank you guys, for reading! Hoped you enjoyed it! Tell me what you think, Good? Bad? Crappy? Alright?
Peace,
